Legacy Circle
Planned Giving
One of the most important and generous ways you can help Yuma's homeless pets is through planned giving. We have created the Legacy Circle in order to recognize those thoughtful persons who ensure the future of our organization...and assist thousands of animals in need.
To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through
the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be
completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before
finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form
to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
Legacy Circle members are those who honor HSOY in one or more of the following ways:
- Naming us as a beneficiary in a will or living trust.
- Making a gift of cash or appreciated securities to establish a charitable gift annuity.
- Creating a charitable remainder trust.
- Naming us as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement account.
- Naming HSOY as a beneficiary of real estate in a beneficiary/transfer on death deed.
We hope you will consider adding your name to our Legacy Circle. As a legacy donor, you will be listed on our website and in upcoming issues of our Paw Prints newsletter (unless you wish to remain anonymous).
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so,
these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this
online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.

Join Our Pet Legacy Program
Due to life's uncertainties, planning ahead is critical to ensure that your pet will continue to receive the needed care he/she deserves. Although it is not a easy topic, there is always the chance that our pets will outlive us. Who will care for your pet once you are gone?
The Humane Society of Yuma can provide information on how we can help care for your pet after you pass. Give yourself the peace of mind of knowing that your pet will be loved and cared for no matter what.
